Santacruzan

in #hit-parade • 7 years ago

this is me @jdcabero at a sagala/santa cruzan Parade in our barangay bagong tanyag, taguig city Philippines.
The name of the festival is derived from the Spanish language word flores meaning "flowers." Other names are "Flores de María" ("Flowers of Mary") and "Álay" (Filipino for "offering").
